A party in Boligee, Alabama turned fatal in the early hours of January 29, 2023, when an altercation escalated into gunfire. Shortly after 2:30 a.m., 29-year-old Korizon Washington was struck and later died of his wounds; a 33-year-old man named Jerry Edwards was also shot and survived.

The Greene County Sheriff’s Office requested assistance from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation, which processed the scene and interviewed witnesses. As of late January 2023 the SBI’s investigation was active; authorities had not identified any suspects or announced arrests, and the state’s findings were to be forwarded to the local district attorney for charging decisions.

If anyone who attended that gathering or knows more about what happened that morning has information, please come forward to investigators.
